The Automobili Pininfarina B95 is the world's first pure-electric hyper Barchetta, blending timeless PURA design principles with cutting-edge technology. As the first of its kind, the B95 is a coach-built masterpiece that celebrates the fusion of heritage and innovation. This open-top vehicle draws inspiration from the award-winning PURA Vision design concept which embodies the PURA design principles, bridging the past and future of Pininfarina's iconic designs, developed entirely in-house by Automobili Pininfarina's expert team in Italy. Exquisitely crafted with bespoke materials, the B95 embodies the pinnacle of ultra-luxury while delivering the brand's promise: ‘Dream Cars, Made Real.’

The B95 is powered by the same state-of-the-art powertrain that delivers breath-taking performance in the Battista hyper GT, but with a unique tune for this one-of-a-kind vehicle. It offers an unparalleled driving experience with the world's first electronically adjustable aero screens. Taking inspiration from vintage fighter planes, the clear polycarbonate designs feature intricately engineered and exposed aluminium supports and can be raised and lowered by the client to improve comfort while preserving design integrity.

Every B95 is individually handcrafted with collaboration between the Automobili Pininfarina design team in Cambiano and the clients. This attention to detail guarantees that no two vehicles are identical, offering a rare level of exclusivity and personalised luxury for discerning collectors. The B95 redefines modern hypercar design while paying homage to Pininfarina’s storied past, making it an extraordinary blend of design excellence and technical innovation.
